New Hypersonic Missile of the USA Is Becoming a Reality. North American Country Is Testing the Missile 5x Faster Than the Speed of Sound with a Range of Up to 3 Thousand Km.
The United States is getting closer to implementing the first hypersonic missile in its military arsenal. Capable of exceeding five times the speed of sound, this hypersonic missile from the USA is designed to overcome conventional air defense systems. With this advanced technology, the USA seeks to ensure a significant strategic advantage in the field of defense.
Missile 5x Faster Than the Speed of Sound Can Reach 3,000 Km
In recent years, the USA has fallen behind countries like Russia, which is already using hypersonic missiles in the war against Ukraine. One reason for this delay is that the Americans plan to develop a more modern system than those currently used by the rest of the world, and the hypersonic missile is getting closer to becoming a reality. At the end of June this year, the U.S. Army conducted the first test of the missile faster than the speed of sound in a battlefield.
According to the USA, the Dark Eagle weapon can integrate with joint command forces in real-time. During the maneuvers, the U.S. hypersonic missile demonstrated that it could communicate with other combat units, as well as command and control systems for extended periods.

While no other country manufactures tanks in Latin America, Argentina activates the TAM 2C-A2 and raises a curiosity about the technological lag in the region.
The Dark Eagle is a medium-range surface-to-surface missile being developed for the U.S. Army by Lockheed Martin and Northrop Grumman. The main objective of the missile faster than the speed of sound is to eliminate targets at distances of up to 3,000 km.
U.S. Army Plans to Implement Hypersonic Missile and Change Current Scenario of Military Industry
The system of the U.S. hypersonic missile consists of a mobile launcher with two cartridges, each containing a rocket booster and a Common-Hypersonic Glide Body (G-HGB) in a nose cone. The rocket leverages the glide body to high altitudes, from where it glides under control to its target, reaching a maximum speed of Mach 17, about 21 thousand kilometers per hour.
When fully operational, the army aims to deploy the U.S. hypersonic missile in a battery of eight missiles containing four M983 trucks and trailers with two missiles each in launch cans, alongside a command vehicle. There is no forecast for when this will occur.
The Positioning of Russia
In February, Russia began mass production of a new missile faster than the speed of sound, claims President Vladimir Putin. Experts assert that this type of missile is nearly impossible to intercept. Ukraine stated it has evidence that Russia fired a hypersonic Zircon missile for the first time since the beginning of the war during the attacks on the capital Kiev on February 7.
Experts highlight that, if the device follows what Moscow claims, it is a formidable weapon. Hypersonic speed makes it invulnerable even to the best Western missile defenses, such as the Patriot from the United States, according to the Missile Defense Advocacy Alliance (MDAA).
Russian defense industry companies have increased the production and supply of weapons “multiple times” in recent years, including high-precision strike weapons and unmanned aerial vehicles, tanks, armored vehicles, artillery, air defense systems, counter-battery systems, and communication and reconnaissance equipment. According to the Russian leader, other technologies, including the introduction of artificial intelligence in the military sector, are also being developed.
Conseguindo agora o que um Iskander já fazia…
20 anos de atraso.
Todos sabemos que os russos nao passam de fanfarroes. Seus misseis hipersonicos tem sido derrubados pelo sistema Patriot, acabam de ter um submarino afundado por um simples drone . A propalada tecnologia russa é muito inferior ao que os USA dispoe.
Concordo plenamente
Todos sabemos do marketing dos EUA para vender armas, os RUSSOS já tem mísseis hipersonocos de diversos modelos como khinzal iskander zircon e continua o desenvolvimento e melhorias como o iskander vai ter alcance de mais de mil quilômetros, a Ucrânia alega derrubar esses mísseis mas não mostra provas concretas, e algumas vezes fontes oficiais de Kiev admite não conseguir interceptar nem mesmo mísseis antigos hipersonocos como kh22 da década de setenta
